Background and purpose:This study was to investigate the effect of miRNA-486 on the growth of human colorectal cancer cell line SW620 xenograft in nude mice and to explore the possible mechanism of action. Methods:Eighteen mice were randomly divided into three groups, including the experimental group, the negative control group and the blank control group. Each group contained 6 mice. The SW620 cell line was inoculated subcutaneously into nude mice to establish the model of human colorectal cancer xenografts. Peritumoral injection of miRNA-486 overexpres-sion plasmid, or blank vector and PBS were performed every 3 days. The volumes of subcutaneous tumors in each group of inoculated mice were compared. Then mice were sacrificed 3 weeks after infection. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to measure the expression of neuropilin-2 (NRP2).Results:The growth rate of tumors in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the negative control group and the blank control group. After 21 days, the size of transplanted tumors in the experimental group nude mice was (0.32±0.12) cm3, that in the negative control group was (0.77±0.31) cm3, and that in blank control group was (0.82±0.18) cm3. Tumor mass in the experimental group was sig-nificantly smaller than that in the other two groups (P=0.006<0.05). Tumor mass in the experimental group was (0.40±0.08) g, significantly smaller than that in the negative control group (0.75±0.18) g and in the blank control group (0.79±0.18) g (P=0.008<0.05). Compared with the expression of NRP2 in other groups, the growth of tumor in the experimental group de-clined (P=0.000<0.05).Conclusion:Colorectal cancer cell line SW620 xenografted tumor in nude mice can be suppressed after injection of miR-486, which may decrease the expression of NRP2.

The methyl group plays an important role in the rational drug design. Introducing methyl into small molecules has become an important strategy of lead compound optimization. The application of methyl in drug design is reviewed in this paper. Methyl can modulate the physicochemical, pharmacodynamic, and pharmacokinetic properties by ortho effect, inductive effect, and conformational effect. It also improves the metabolic stability as a soft metabolic point. In addition, introducing methyl into drug molecules can also be applied as a strategy in new uses of old drugs and generate me-too drugs.

Background and purpose:MicroRNA-486-5p (miR-486-5p) has been demonstrated to play an important role in many kinds of tumor, however, there are few reports about the relationship between miRNA-486-5p in gastric carcinoma. This study was aimed to explore the effect of miR-486-5p on the proliferation, apoptosis and migration abilities of the human gastric cancer cell line SGC7901.Methods:Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis was performed to detect the expression of miR-486-5p in the SGC7901 and GES-1 cells, miR-486-5p over-expressing plasmid was constructed and transfected into the human gastric carcinoma cell line SGC7901 using LipofectamineTM2000. The expression of miR-486-5p of the transfected cells was measured by qRT-PCR, the proliferation level of SGC7901 cells was detected by MTT method, the apoptosis rate of the cells was measured by lfow cytometry and the in vitro migration abilities of SGC7901 cells by transwell test. Results:The miR-486-5p expression in SGC7901 cells was down-regulated compared with GES-1 cells. The expression of miR-486-5p in SGC7901 cells that was transfected miR-486-5p over-expressing plasmid was obviously up-regulated. The proliferation and migration abilities of SGC7901 cells were inhibited signiifcantly, and the apoptosis rate of the cells increased. Conclusion:miR-486-5p can effectively suppress the proliferation and in vitro migration abilities of SGC7901 cells, indicating that miR-486-5p might be used as a target for molecular therapy of gastric cancer.

Objective To explore the clinical prognostic significance of arterial blood lactate level and early lactate clearance rate in elderly septic patients. Methods Totally 82 elderly septic patients who were admitted into emergency department were enrolled.Their arterial blood lactate levels were tested at admission and 6 hours later. Early lactate clearance rate was calculated as following:(lactate level of admission minus lactate level of 6 hours later) /lactate level of admission ×100 ％. Heart rate and blood pressure were recorded at admission,and the acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHE Ⅱ ) score was evaluated in the first 24 hours.28 days after admission was the end of research.Patients were divided into survival group (n=59) and death group (n=23).Taking 10％ as cut-off,patients were divided into high lactate clearance (≥ 10％) group (n=59) and low lactate clearance (＜10％) group (n=23).Values of arterial blood lactate level,APACHE Ⅱ score and early lactate clearance to predict the prognosis of elderly septic patients were determined by ROC curves. Results Arterial blood lactate level was lower in survival group than death group[(2.4± 1.7)mmol/L vs.(3.9±3.2)mmol/L,P＜0.01].Early lactate clearance was higher in survival group than death group [(339.0 ± 28.0) ％ and (300.0 ± 81.0) ％,P ＜ 0.01].Mortality of high lactate clearance group was decreased as compared with low lactate clearance group [18.6％ (11/59) and 52.2％ (12/23),P＜0.01].The thresholds of early lactate clearance to predict mortality of elderly septic patients were 24.0％ (sensitivity 72.9％,specificity 65.2％) which was more valuable than APACHE Ⅱ score ( sensitivity 65.2 ％,specificity 57.6 ％). Conclusions Arterial blood lactate level and early lactate clearance were meaningful predictors for prognosis of elderly septic patients.

Objective To analysis the expression of thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1) in patients with lung adenocarcinoma, and discuss the relationship between TTF-1 expression and prognosis of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Methods A total of 786 cases of lung adenocarcinoma who were admitted to Xi'an Chest Hospital from January 2012 to June 2016 were selected. The expression of TTF-1 was detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between TTF-1 expression and patients ' clinicopathological features, treatment and survival were analyzed. Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze the relationship between TTF-1 and prognosis of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Results Among 786 patients, 559 patients (71.12％) had positive TTF-1 expression, 227 patients (28.88％) had negative TTF-1 expression. The expression rates of TTF-1 in patients with well-differentiated, early stage, no lymph node metastasis, and no distant metastasis [77.26％ (197/255), 78.89％ (269/341), 78.95％ (225/285), and 75.61％(372/492)] were higher than those in patients with poorly differentiated, late stage, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis 68.17％ (362/531), 65.17％ (290/445), 66.67％ (334/501), 63.60％ (187/294), the differenceswere statistically significant (χ 2 values were 6.917, 25.261, 13.339, and 12.911, all P < 0.05). The expressions of TTF-1 in primary lesions and metastatic lesions were consistent (κ = 0.894, P < 0.01). Among 385 patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma who were unable to perform the operation, the proportion of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation in TTF-1 positive expression patients (45.60％, 109/239) was significantly higher than that in TTF-1 negative expression patients (26.02％, 38/146), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 14.721, P < 0.01). The median progression free survival (PFS) time of TTF-1 positive expression patients was significantly longer than that of TTF -1 negative expression patients (6.00 months vs. 4.20 months, P < 0.01), whether EGFR was mutation or not, the median PFS time of TTF-1 positive expression patients was significantly longer than that of TTF-1 negative expression patients (P =0.003; P < 0.01). TTF-1 expression (HR = 0.793, 95％ CI 0.639-0.984, P = 0.011) and EGFR gene status (HR =0.694, 95％ CI 0.432-0.864, P = 0.004) were independent influencing factors affecting the PFS of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Conclusions TTF-1 is widely expressed in lung adenocarcinoma and is associated with tumor differentiation, staging, lymph metastasis and distant metastasis. TTF-1 is a prognostic influencing factor in patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma and can be used as a predictor of treatment for patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma.
